The best Nokia phone in a long time and one of the best of 2012 if not the best .

NokiaFTW has owned it for less than 3 months before publishing this review

My father uses this phone , so my review is gonna be based on what i've seen .The Lumia 920 is arguabaly the best Nokia phone of all time . From its built quality , the camera , the stunning display to the smooth and visually appealing WP 8 UI , the phone is a winner . You really have to hold one in your hand to experience the greatness that is the Lumia 920 .

Build quality10/10Like most Nokia's before it , the built quality is top notch with Lumia 920 .It is a little bit heavy but it reminds me of the indestructable Nokia 3310 . Plus , with choice of a variety of flashy colors , the design and built quality is probably the best of 2012 .

Reception9/10Reception is great . My father uses this is on a 3G network and he never complaint of any dropped calls or network .

Call quality10/10Like all Nokias , the call quality is great with the Lumia 920 .

Internet10/10With support for 4G LTE , and the smooth and fluid IE 10 with WP8 , the internet browsing experience is just fantastic .

Multimedia10/10The speakers are one of the best i've ever heard on any smartphone . This allows for a great music experience , and with the great music streaming service from Nokia , the music listening experience is great . The video watching experience is also great thanks the sharp display a.d games also play & look great .

Camera10/10The camera is the one of the best of not the best i've used in a long time . Some awesome low-light shots and fluid and great looking 1080p videos just make the camera one of the best out there . The front camera though is not the best i've seen . And with the Portico update , the outdoor shots are also fantastic looking .

UI speed10/10With Windows Phone 8 being as fluid and responsiveness s the previous versions of WP , and a dual-core processor , the phone fly's through everything from normal system tasks and intensive gaming , there is not lag or stutter that I have noticed .

Everyday usage9/10Windows Phone 8 is a great OS . In some ways , its even better than Android and iOS . Its fast , dynamic looking , and easy to use . The only thing I would like to see is a better notifications system like a notifications panel or something . The no. of apps in the marketplace is a lil' bit disappointing . But that will grow with time .

Text input10/10The WP keyboard is great , spacious and fast . And I just love the sound of the keys .

Display10/10The display is great . Its not very big , nor very small . Its the perfect size . And its really very sharp and crisp . And with Gorilla Glass , I tried to scratch with a key (don't tell my father ;) ) , it didn't scratch one bit. And also great outdoor visibility . And the best part is that I can use with gloves on , which is great .

Battery9/10Great battery life . My easily got close to a day of heavy usage on 3G which is great , but I just wish that battery was not sealed and be easily accesable .

Pros

Buttery smooth UI responsiveness and fast processor.

More than enough amount of RAM (1 GB ) for smooth and easy multi-tasking.

It just gets better with time

I bought this phone right after it became available in November last year. In the beginning there were some minor issues with it (syncing with my accounts didn’t work, battery life was poor). I never returned the phone, but somehow after a month I stopped experiencing any of these problems. It also took me some time to figure out how to use the Windows operating system. But now, having used it over three months, I really got to like it. It is as fast and responsive as on the first day. The camera is great, and no other phone comes close to it. I also bought a JBL PowerUp speaker, and enjoy the advantages of NFC and Wireless charging. The fact that it uploads automatically my pictures to skydrive is great. I never need to transfer pics again to my laptop, since they are already there when I switch it on. The windows store is also growing, and I don’t have an app which I would miss. As time passed, I started to love this phone more and more, and today I can recommend it without any reservation.

Build quality9/10Build quality is great, but since dust can easily get behind the front facing camera, it is not perfect.

Reception10/10I never had issues with reception.

Call quality10/10

Internet10/10Connectivity is just perfect. I really like how fluidly it changes between my WiFi and cellular data.

Multimedia10/10Works great.

Camera10/10No need to mention it again. Its just outstanding.

UI speed10/10Its like Ferrari ;)

Everyday usage10/10The only time I feel that the phone is heavy, is when I am laying in my bad and try to surf the net. After a while my hands get really tired of holding my phone. But in daily use I never felt its weight to be a problem.

Text input10/10

Display10/10

Battery10/10Battery always depends on the staff you do with your phone. I realized that when playing games that pull down advertisements, the battery gets drained very fast. But, if you do other staff, like makeing phone calls, listening to music, reading online articles, taking some pictures on the way, the battery will get you through the day.

WORST phone ......i had really lost my mind at the time of purchase this phone. believe me this phone is scrap. on 20th of last month i bought this phn and the same day phone dead automatically and nokia replaced it, and again today it happened again. now i will never use nokia phone and please friends don't go with the hype, nokia called this phone very professional...lol even u can't attach files more than one in one mail. u need to follow more than 7 steps to save a contact, this very dissappointing. their are many issues with this phone which i am not able to write here....all the best friends who are planning to buy this phone.

You will never regret buying the Lumia 920.

I am a proud owner of a Lumia 920. I'm extremely happy with the choice I've made. To buy a windows phone may seem like a bet but it was totally worth the risk. Windows Phone 8 is great, fast and responsive. The app selection number is growing fast and personally I found every app I've used before in the Windows Store. Some reviewers wine about the weight of the phone but in reality it's not that heavy at all, I mean you don't need big muscles to lift it off the table. If you're thinking about buying a windows phone Nokia is definitely the way to go, because they put much more effort into it compared to HTC or Samsung.

Build quality10/10I've got the black matte version and it's just so smooth and sturdy.

Reception10/10I've never had any dropped calls.

UI speed10/10Windows Phone 8 is fast and responsive. No lag.

Everyday usage10/10I have fun using it everyday. Little things like new Bing locksreen wallpaper can make the phone look always fresh. I also like the change the accent color every now and then.

Text input10/10I've never typed faster in my life :D

Display10/10The display is amazing with very high pixel density.

Battery10/10The phone always gets me through the day and when I put it on the charger before bed I usually have at least 10-20% left. Note that I'm a heavy user. I go on Facebook, play games, listen to music a lot.

Cons

Pretty good phone

aaflack18 has owned it for less than month before publishing this review

I upgraded to this phone from my faithful Samsung Focus (had an issue with the power button getting itself stuck... Got tired of it doing that)
first thing I noticed was the difference in speed. Frickin thing just blew me how fast and fluid everything is. Looked for an explanation for why the phone was so heavy. Wireless charging coils. Really? I just think that was unnecessary. I prefer to have my phone plugged in and charging.
Never was an app person, so this OS suited me best. I hope Nokia keeps putting out better phones. Write this review using my Nokia 920.

Dissapointing !!!!

safi.2905 has owned it for less than month before publishing this review

I was eagerly waiting for this phone but after using it, it left me highly dissapointed!
No doubt the user interface is somewhat refreshing with live tiles and i din feel there was any shortage of apps as most of the commonly used apps were present.
But one thing problem which i encountered from almost day one was FREEZING of the Phone. The interface kept on hanging every now or then i had to reboot the device atleast three to four times a day. I took it to #Nokia but they said there is a software issue to whichi when asked how to fix it they had no answer!! a very apalling way to handle a customes complaint. and then i dont know what so hue and cry about the camera.. i found it OK nothing too astonishing or ground breaking. But the problem of freezing is something to look into coz one of my friend also encountered the same problem to which again #Nokia people denied to acknowledge. SHamefull!!

Dont know why ppl say this phone as bulky nd heavy, its comfortable to hold than the thinner iphone and also better build quality.The camera with optical stabilization is awsome unlike the fake digital gimmicks in other phones .Wireless charging is also there.So these all may be the reason for its thicker body .Without knowing all these ppl starts bashing this beautiful phone.

greatest phone in of last year

Potentially great phone undone by abysmal battery life

gilbilly has owned it for less than month before publishing this review

I am writing this review today to express my dissatisfaction with the Lumia 920. I have purchased this device on two occasions and both times I have encountered the same issue. The first time I purchased it was second hand and it was one of the first few released in Canada (came factory unlocked and all). Although the camera was amazing, the build was excellent and the exclusive apps were fantastic (Nokia Maps and Drive to be precise) the battery life was abysmal. Despite multiple factory resets and even attempting to run it without additional apps I could get only 6 hours of usage on average which is unacceptable. I quickly sold it on Kijiji. After a few days I had convinced myself that it must have been just pre-release model glitches (I had owned a #Lumia800 previously and had no such issues). Being without a phone and unable to get my hands on an actual release model from Rogers, I ended up going with a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (and have been very satisfied with it). Up until the Lumia line I have been an Android user for the last few years now and am accustom to 12-15 hours at least. Before Android came out I was a windows mobile user having owned numerous models but my first ever phone was a Nokia 3300. At the time this the 3300 was to me such an innovative phone, stylish, different and one of the first phones to support MP3 playback. It was my fond memories of my 3300 that prompted me to try the Lumia 800 and eventually the 920 a second time because to me they embodied those...

It was my fond memories of my 3300 that prompted me to try the Lumia 800 and eventually the 920 a second time because to me they embodied those same qualities. I purchased my second Lumia 920 on Wednesday the 16th and returned it the next evening. Once again I could get no more than 6 hrs of battery life. I am aware of the battery saving option in the phone and despite not believing that one should essentially cripple their device to get functional use, I attempted using the phone with it on and gained possibly an hour. I am now happily using my Galaxy Note 2 and getting on average 20 hrs of use out of it. Although I would not expect such use out of the Lumia 920 considering the battery size difference, I would expect at least the 12-15 hours of battery life phones in it's league manage.

This experience has tainted my opinion of the Nokia Lumia line and will likely affect my opinion in choosing my future smartphone.

It is with all sincerity that I write this in the hopes that Nokia takes this kind of feedback seriously and will make the necessary changes in their future iterations of the Lumia line as it currently is not a phone I could recommend.

Pros

Cons

Arguably the best phone on the market

davidvkimball has owned it for less than 3 months before publishing this review

The Nokia Lumia 920 is the flagship Windows Phone 8 device we have all been waiting for. There is almost nothing bad to say about this phone. The screen is brilliant, the OS is fast, and it's packed with so many fantastic features from Nokia. You will not find a competing smartphone with a better camera, higher resolution screen, or more fully-featured GPS/navigation software. Praises for both the software and the hardware of the device.

It cost me $99 for the phone with a two-year contract and a wireless charger. I have been happy with the phone since.

Build quality10/10Nokia's hardware durability is legendary. The phone is slick and beautiful. The screen's glass is tough and curved. Both matte and glossy finishes feel very high quality.

Reception9/10I am around areas with poor signal, but this phone has picked up bars where my other phones could not.

Multimedia8/10On-board the phone Xbox Music and Video work well, but the PC software to manage locally-stored media files on the phone is messy and feature-less, a terrible degradation from the outstanding Zune software used with Windows Phone 7 devices. Video playback and sound quality are excellent.

UI speed10/10Windows Phone 8 OS is the fastest mobile operating system I have ever used. Initial loadup time, multitasking, and opening applications all happen in a snap. One of my favorite parts about this phone is its speed.

Everyday usage10/10Dynamic OS gives you relevant content from social networks and lives tiles give you reminders daily. I use the phone multiple times every day. Remember to keep an eye on your battery, you'll possible need to toggle WiFi, tap+send, and Bluetooth to save battery, as well as use the Battery Saving service.

Text input10/10Best autocorrect and word-guessing technology in any keyboard I have ever used. The keyboard is also packed with a ton of emoticons.

Display10/10Beautiful display with an extremely high refresh rate means NO blur and an outstanding picture. This phone delivers one of the best viewing experiences there can be on a mobile device.

Battery8/10Comparable with other LTE smartphones, nothing extraordinary, but satisfactory.

This phone is wonderful. The UI is gorgeous and personally relevant to me, connects with my social media, and allows me to share instantly. The build quality is phenomenal, Nokia quality, and comes with 32 GB.

Build quality10/10Strong build, not likely to break. True to Nokia. The screen is gorgeous, large, and extremely damage resistant. Glossy finish is great, as is matte.

Reception8/10I live in a really bad signal area, but it picks it up like my previous phones did.

Call quality8/10Nothing special, nothing bad though.

Internet10/10Great browser, great LTE speeds.

Multimedia8/10I would put this at a 10, but the music interface with my computer is terrible. They switched from Zune, which was a huge mistake. Other than it's brilliant.

It's like love at first sight. The moment you have this phone in your hand and work with the OS, you fall in love with it. The design is outstanding, it's not heavy and it's not light, it's like you actually have something in your hand. I call this the best smartphone ever. It's a revolution in the world of smartphones. Microsoft has done magic with the OS.

Cons

I absolutely love my Nokia Lumia 920.

jado777 has owned it for less than 3 months before publishing this review

Overall its a great phone! All this talk about its size being a downfall is dumb in my opinion. When you feel it in your hand, it's almost reassuring of the build quality. I have dropped mine a few times, all times on to concrete (I pretty much cried each time). I was in the car and forgot it was in my lap and it fell right on to my drive way. It fell face down and I was terrified to pick it up. It now has a small dent on the top left corner. But its still white (This isnt painted, the color goes all the way through the case). And there are no scratches on the screen. I HIGHLY recommend the 920. You won't regret it.

Build quality10/10It's very sturdy. All this talk about how bulky it is, but I am personally perfectly content. My friends have told me it feels "solid".

Reception10/10Just as good and on par with all the other handsets in my area.

Call quality9/10Occasional when, for instance, im pressed against my phone at an odd angle apparently i sound "muffled". Im sure it's some fault of my own, but this is only an occasional nuisance.

Internet10/10Browsing is fine, no complaints. It just works. It works whether im on Wi-Fi or "4G" (Technically HSPA+, my area does not have AT&T 4G LTE).

Multimedia10/10Youtube, movies, videos, photos. It's got it all and it's camera is top notch. I am able to play games and entertain myself. Nokia Music is a HUGE bonus. It's like an integrated Pandora. A very great bonus. Nokia has given me even more incentive to stay with the lumia thanks to all the bonus apps just for the lumia.

Camera10/10Amazing camera! Takes just as amazing pictures as it advertises.

UI speed10/10There is no noticeable lag. It's very speedy and elegant. One of my friends went as far as to call it "bubbly". Im not sure why. Its very visually appealing.

Everyday usage9/10Works great for everything. Calls, texts, games, internet, netflix, you name it. Although you might want to be around a charger for the games. Depending on the game it can REALLY kill your battery. Words with friends will literally eat 20 percent of your battery in 25 minutes. I believe its a fault of the app because most of the other games aren't nearly that bad.

Text input10/10An iPhone user picked up my phone to search on facebook, and the first thing he said was "Wow, I love how responsive it is and how easy it is to type!". The keyboard generally requires two hands. You can use one, but I have medium sized hands and its still kind of difficult with mine. Other then that, it works pretty well and the auto-complete is pretty accurate!

Display10/10It's a wonderful display and adjust to different light situations almost instantaneously. It's a lot better then the 900'. Overall its a beautiful, extremely responsive screen in general.

Battery8/10My longer days will last from 7:00am to about 8:00pm (As in time I'm away from the charger). On average I will use it lightly from 7am - 12pm knocking the battery down to 85-80 percent. I will do more battery intensive things as the evening continues (GPS, Video Playback, Music Streaming, etc...) and normally as 7pm-7:30 gets around i could easily be at 5 percent. at 20 percent nokias battery saving feature kicks in and it will last me until about 8pm and might die a bit before if Im more carele

Cons

Nokia makes a truly excellent phone in the 920, but not without the odd trade-off...

mrcrangle has owned it for less than month before publishing this review

I've missed my Nokias - especially the N95 and then N900 - but it's fair to say the company didn't provide me with a compelling reason to stay with them in my last upgrade round. When my daughter got a Lumia 710 a few months ago I had my first taste of WP and found it to my liking; when I learned about WP8 and then the 920's launch I felt I had to have one, and I don't regret it at all, even though being in the UK means I had to take out an expensive 'EE' contract and had to mess about with trying to claim my free wireless charging plate via a clunky and malfunctioning website! Yes, there are things that could make the 920 a no-no for some people, but it's a breath of fresh air for me!

Everyday usage8/10The phone is big and heavy, and can be fiddly to get out of the pocket. I do worry that I'll fumble badly with it one day and drop it.

Text input9/10My only complaint is no haptic feedback, otherwise the screen size and intuitive software make typing smooth

Display10/10Breathtaking sharpness...looks so much better than colleagues' IP5s and Androids

Battery6/10And this is my one big complaint. It might be me, but I simply can't get a full day's use out of the phone, and I'm not an especially heavy user. I've no problem charging my phone now and then during the day, but I do seem to be on an endless quest for a re-juicing opportunity, and the lack of wireless charging accessories currently available in the UK combined with the total pain website for redeeming the free charging plate make the whole situation quite irritating

The best phone I've owned in a while

ucancallmenickk has owned it for less than month before publishing this review

I've never had such a good value before. I bought this beautiful phone in white for $50 with a 2-year contract. I got a free case and wireless charger. I love everything so much more than my Lumia 900 and iPhones of the past. I think this phone is worth every penny. Especially when you realize that it's a 32GB phone, NFC enabled, 4G, has an awesome camera, and has a better screen than the iPhone 5.

Nokia should have picked Android

fervid has owned it for less than month before publishing this review

Could have been really good with some final tweaking, Win8 really being a change, or going Android instead of WinPhone. I liked the build quality and screen. External Speaker was really good too. Non-Removable battery and no SD card was a big con though. Two of the biggest things was no Zune and SD Card support, but the limited MTP and no SD Card just made it another WinPhone 7.

Build quality10/10

Reception10/10

Call quality8/10Volume management issues. Most volumes are linked which is annoying and In Call volume only goes 1 to 10, but is kind of an all or nothing as 1 and 10 seem to be the only ones that changed.

Internet8/10IE is fast, but limited- No Flash and No access to file system killed it for me. Win8 just seemed to be Win7 without Zune instead of a big change.

Multimedia7/10External speaker and Dolby Headphones were awesome. Internal player not so much. Lags a lot and Bluetooth Streaming Audio just hung the phone. Bluetooth handsfree and headphones worked fine though.

Picked up a Lumia 920 the first day it was launched and I've been very pleased with it so far. Build quality is superb, unlike anything else out there. The screen is beautiful. Camera is outstanding. WP8 has new features which will surprise and delight people coming from WP7 and satisfy people coming from other phone OS's. Overall WP8 still needs a few small things addressed, but it's quite good and the Lumia 920 itself is just stellar.

Build quality10/10Build quality is nothing less than best-in-class.

Reception10/10Excellent, no problems.

Call quality10/10Exceptional. No complaints.

Internet8/10IE 10 is a vast improvement over IE 9, but Windows Phone STILL needs real 3rd party browsers not based on IE. Most pages work well, but there are still many that are optimized for WebKit browsers. Web developers are as much to blame as Microsoft for that though. If we could have Opera or Firefox on Windows Phone too, it would be a perfect 10.

Camera10/10The Lumia 920s camera outclasses anything else aside from the Nokia PureView 808. The optical image stabilization, which NO other phone has, means you get clear pics even with shaky hands and the nighttime and low light pictures will absolutely astound you.

Cons

Best of the Best

Weight
Lighter and more comfortable than my HTC Rezound with extended battery. Galaxy S3 is significantly lighter, but I do enjoy the feel of a solid phone. I also understand that technology built into the phone - particularly wireless charging - adds extra weight to the phone.

Apps
There are solid apps on the app store now, but I am missing some of my favorite apps. Also, there are apps I would rather use on a browser but, unfortunately, going to these websites brings a very dated mobile version of the site. I came across this issue with Facebook, all Google sites, Twitch, BB&T, and American Express. Sites need is a simple tweak to their HTML to correct. iOS and Android are given the more up-to-date websites.
My biggest loss is Google Music. I literally use it every day and there is no option on Windows Phone for it. The web app only works for 1 song and then stops if screen is locked. I’d imagine Google Apps coming to Windows Phone in the near future though.
All of the built in apps all work great and are beautiful compared to Android and iPhone equivalents. Particularly the email and texting apps. Pro tip: if you are having trouble syncing your company Outlook with your phone it probably has something to do with the settings on the server. Google inheriting permissions.

Battery
It is lasting me all day with average continuous use. My Android would be dead half way through the day even with the extended battery. (Under similar brightness settings, 4g, push notification settings,...

Battery
It is lasting me all day with average continuous use. My Android would be dead half way through the day even with the extended battery. (Under similar brightness settings, 4g, push notification settings, and carelessness about apps that are running in background). As far as wireless charging goes: it is great. Its not a gimmick; It is something you get used to very quickly.

Syncing with Desktop
Windows 8: Download “Windows Phone” app from Windows Store. Very smooth process.
Apple Mountain Lion: Download “Windows Phone” app from App Store. Name your phone. Syncing can’t get any easier. The best part is that I didn't have to format the phone for Windows or Mac. Works on both right out of the box.

Predictive Text/ Spell Check
Never felt like I was wrestling the keyboard like on my Android (even with the most popular, highly rated custom keyboard for the play store). The larger size and extra sensitive screen makes it better than what I've used from Android and iPhone in my opinion. Especially with the smaller screen iPhone 5 provides.

Overall
I have a amazing experience without having to dump money into cases, extended batteries, and apps that some people could deem as necessary to buy. Everything “just works”. Apps blend together seamlessly, and a luxurious experience. Everyone who sees my phone is captivated by it.

Build quality10/10Fits in hand comfortably. The high gloss finish keeps the phone from sliding around. The placements of the headphone jack, usb port, volume, lock, and camera buttons all make sense. The curved gorilla glass feels great and is a nice touch.

Reception10/10No complaints here. Found that I had bars when others didn't.

Internet10/104G speeds. Faster than the Galaxy S3 in tests. Overall experience better than Android and iPhone. Just waiting for sites to tweak their HTML markup.

Multimedia10/10Awesome built in apps just as Nokia Music, and Cinematography. Audio sounds great, especially over bluetooth. Oddly missing scrubbing for audio and video. I rarely use this feature so I didn't hurt my score.

Camera10/10Great camera. On par or better than what I've used on other smart phones. Slightly "flaws" with color saturation can be fixed with a software update.

UI speed10/10Fastest, cleanest, best looking UI on the market.

Everyday usage10/10Overall my every day life has improved with this phone.

My Nokia Lumia 920 (I've had it for 10 days)

Great phone! I switched from the iPhone 3GS when my AT&T contract was up and it was between the Nokia and the Galaxy III. I decided to get the Nokia and I'm verty glad I did. I'm a "Windows guy", so the OS fits in with my server and PC's at home and work. Battery life is great, camera is fantastic, especially in low light conditions, the screen is beautiful and LTE is fast and reliable!!! It's a big phone, but the screen is great for Internet use and watching movies/videos. I use a holster (yeah, I'm not cool), so the weight doesn't bother me at all. Windows 8 OS is very responsive and intuitive. What better phone is there, especially for $100 with a wireless charger?

Cons

Phone is NICE and a wonderful improvement from the last one. However, I'm still NOT happy with the lack of apps available to me. Let's step it up quickly!!!!!
Also it vibrates very hard and it sounds as if some thing is loose. You shouldn't HEAR the vibration you should FEEL it! Otherwise NICE phone! Camera is AWESOME!

Cons

Love it!

Just upgraded from a Nokia N8-00, since symbian is half-dead, and I'm sure glad I did. The screen is AMAZING. Swiping through the tiles is fluid and free of hickups and the live tiles are a nicely added feature. Haven't had any problems with browsing the web - WiFi/LTE works great. Was able to plug into the computer with no problems and copy mp3s to the phone and pictures with just using "My Computer." This is my first Windows phone and there was basically zero learning curve.
